New submission from Jesús Cea Avión <j...@jcea.es>:
After https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/18334, a "while condition: pass"
in a thread will preclude releasing the GIL, hanging the program with CPU at
100%.
Trivial to reproduce:
"""
#!/usr/bin/env python3.10
import threading
import time
def worker():
while cont:
pass
def main():
global cont
cont = True
t = threading.Thread(target=worker)
t.start()
time.sleep(1)
cont = False
t.join()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
"""
